Brains Behind AI Ari Yacobi

On this episode of Brains Behind AI, Ari had the opportunity to chat with Dr. Abraham Heifets, the CEO and Co-Founder of Atomiwse, where he invented the use of deep convolutional neural networks for drug discovery. Abe’s doctoral work applied machine learning and classical AI techniques to organic synthesis planning, which is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. His vision of Artificial Intelligence bringing better, safe, and more potent drugs to patients has become a reality, and Atomwise is on the fast-track to revolutionizing the healthcare industry. Tune in to hear Atomwise’s fascinating story of how they raised $123 million in funding last year alone, and how the company is using AI to develop pharmaceutical drugs.

On our 35th episode of “Brains Behind AI”, Ari had the chance to chat with Rob Carpenter, the CEO and Founder of Valyant AI. Valyant AI is an enterprise grade conversational AI platform for the quick serve restaurant industry. In this episode, we learn how Rob has developed a proprietary software application that integrates within a restaurant's existing hardware infrastructure and allows the AI software to take the vast majority of customer orders and insert them directly into the POS for payment. What Valyant is accomplishing is certainly one of its kind, building Artificial Intelligence employees, or holograms, for physical retail locations that have a physical or ‘real’ presence. Tune into hear Rob’s advice on why it’s important to start a service based company before a product company, and how he has overcome a plethora of challenges in creating an AI product with the same capabilities of human psychology.

On this episode of “Brains Behind AI”, Ari had the opportunity to speak with Lawrence Ngo, a practicing radiologist with a PhD in neurobiology. Lawrence is also the Co-founder and CEO of CoRead.AI, a start-up that has developed machine learning algorithms that analyzes the images and reports from radiology exams, and flags studies with high probability for peer review. We dive into Dr. Ngo’s ride from earning his PhD, working through his residency, and founding an AI company. CoRead AI been able to successfully create algorithms that monitor for radiologist blind-spots diagnosis, they are making a giant splash in the Radiology space. Make sure to tune in to hear more.
